National Anthem issuesâ?¦ (moved)

[DuWayne Steurer]

Now I know people will say this is a football topic, or whatever, but I don't think it's just football.

 

In general, I don't see many performers, be it football, baseball (you know, like all star game or world series game) who treat the Anthem with any kind of reverence anymore. They all gotta 'make it their own' or whatever, by making one syllable words into 8 syllable words. Or singing the lines wrong. Or in the case of those idiots in Chicago, cheering wildly during the entire singing of the anthem.

 

I'm not much of a fuddy duddy or a person who puts much stock in 'tradition'. Maybe it's the little bit of a patriot or whatever in me, who knows. I'm just tired of seeing the anthem butchered, disrespected, and just generally apparently not meaning anything to these people who can't perform it properly (or in teh case of those idiots in Chicago, respect it during the singing of it).

 

Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm too old fashioned, whatever. Not asking you to agree. It just bugs me.
